Contributors 141 IN MEMORIAM Varpu Lindström 1948–2012 This issue is dedicated to the life and memory of Professor Varpu Lindström, the chair of the editorial board of the Journal of Finnish Studies since its founding in 1997. She passed away peacefully among family members at her home in Beaverton, Canada, on June 21, 2012. She was born on September 13, 1948, in Helsinki, and at the age of fourteen she migrated to Canada with her parents. Varpu Lindström is a well-known figure in the field of migration studies, not least through her contribution to the Journal of Finnish Studies. Together with her husband Börje Vähämäki, she created the journal. She was the Chair of the Editorial Board up until the time of her death. Producing a journal involves a lot of work, including numerous practical tasks. Varpu looked after these with her heart: sub- scriptions, subscription lists, billing, and other logistics. As an expert in migration studies and history, she was referenced in numerous articles. She also wrote articles for the journal herself, for example, an article about Sointula and articles on sensi- tive topics of Finnish-Canadian immigrant research. For some volumes, she served as a co-editor. She proofread nearly every issue. All this she did with such dedication and commitment that without her contribution the Journal of Finnish Studies would not be the same. She had a special talent for seeing synergies in the most unlikely places, thus enabling us to perform to our full potential. 1 Journal of Finnish Studies She founded the Canadian Friends of Finland friendship society in 1982 and fostered cultural relations between Canada and Finland in a variety of ways. In her academic life, Varpu Lindström studied the humble immigrant. In her own life, she was able to transform that humble experience into a career worthy of international recognition. During her distinguished career as a professor and scholar at York University, Canada, she specialized in North American social history, migra- tion studies, and women studies. Her first book, now a classic on the experience of Finnish immigrants to Canada, was based on her PhD thesis: Defiant Sisters: A Social History of Finnish Immigrant Women in Canada, 1890–1930. She also published From Heroes to Enemies: Finns in Canada, 1937–1947. Inspired by Defiant Sisters, filmmaker Kelly Saxberg invited Lindström to be researcher and historical consultant for her 2004 National Film Board documentary, Letters from Karelia. Throughout her career, Varpu Lindström conducted hundreds of interviews among Finnish Canadians and collected letters, diaries, and other kinds of writ- ten materials for her research. This legacy is now housed at York University’s Clara Thomas Archives & Special Collections; it is an invaluable resource for future immi- grant studies researchers. Shortly before she died, she was presented with a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal as a tribute for her lifetime of scholarship and her pioneering work documenting the history of Finnish Canadians. It is hard to imagine anyone who would better deserve the title “defiant sister.” She gained respect, gratitude, and love, both in her academic community and the immigrant community. 2 EDITORIAL Two years ago, in August 2010, the Publication Forum Project (Julkaisufoorumi- hanke) was launched, initiated by Finnish universities. The purpose of the project was to evaluate and rank scientific publication venues (journals and book publish- ers) in all fields of research. Hosted by the Federation of Finnish Learned Societies (Tieteellisten seurain valtuuskunta), the project is funded by Finland’s Ministry of Education and Culture. The evaluation covered nearly 20,000 national and interna- tional scientific journals and series. Twenty-three panels, each consisting of six to thirteen members, chosen according to their fields of expertise, were charged with the task of evaluating and ranking hundreds of scientific titles, defined as such because they subject their submissions to peer review to guarantee the quality of published articles. The publication venue also must have an editorial board. The evaluated titles included print and digital journals, conference series, and book and anthology series. The titles were ranked in two categories: scientific (level 1) and leading sci- entific (level 2) publication channels. Level 1 publication venues meet the scientific publication criteria (editorial board of experts and peer-review process); level 2 titles publish articles that represent their international authors’ best research. Only 20 percent of the titles evaluated by each panel were ranked at level 2. The Journal of Finnish Studies belongs to this elite group. Few

  • Finnish University Intelligentsia and Its German Idealism Tradition
    1 INTELLECTUALS AND THE STATE: FINNISH UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENTSIA AND ITS GERMAN IDEALISM TRADITION Jukka Kortti, Adjunct Professor (Docent) University of Helsinki, Department of Political and Economic Studies, Section of Social Science History [email protected] Article (Accepted version) Post-print (ie final draft post-refereeing) Original citation: JUKKA KORTTI (2014). INTELLECTUALS AND THE STATE: THE FINNISH UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENTSIA AND THE GERMAN IDEALIST TRADITION Modern Intellectual History, 11, pp 359-384 doi:10.1017/S1479244314000055 2 Abstract INTELLECTUALS AND THE STATE: FINNISH UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENTSIA AND ITS GERMAN IDEALISM TRADITION The article examines the making of the Finnish intelligentsia and its relation to the state and the nation. The problem is analysed primarily from the perspective of student activism in the twentieth century. The development is viewed in the context of nationalism, (cultural) modernism, and radicalism in the development of the public sphere. The main source consists of the research findings of the student magazine Ylioppilaslehti (Student Magazine), which is not just “any student paper,” but a Finnish institution that has seen most of Finland’s cultural and political elite pass through its editorial staff in the twentieth century. The article demonstrates the importance of German idealism, as theorised by the Finnish statesman and philosopher J.W. Snellman, and its vital role in the activities of the Finnish university intelligentsia well into the 21st century. 3 INTELLECTUALS AND THE STATE: FINNISH UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENTSIA AND ITS GERMAN IDEALISM TRADITION INTRODUCTION In 2013, there has been quite a fuss around Finnish philosopher Pekka Himanen in the Finnish public sphere. Himanen is internationally known as the researcher of the information age – together with Spanish sociologist Manuel Castells, for instance.

  • Learning to Teach in Finland: Historical Contingency and Professional Autonomy
    Learning to teach in Finland: historical contingency and professional autonomy Janne Säntti (University of Helsinki) & Jaakko Kauko (University of Tampere) Abstrac This chapter demonstrates how the evolution of Finnish teacher education has been gradual and not linear with a major shift towards an emphasis on research skills as the central feature of teacher knowledge. The historical phases in the evolution of teacher education, which can be characterized as normative, pedagogic and research-based are connected to Finland’s general societal trajectories and education policy developments. There has been a strong tendency towards academisation or even scientification in the Finnish teacher education agenda, which has been powered by the involvement of professors of teacher education in shaping the key policy questions with moderate political intervention over recent decades. These questions include visions of what constitutes a good or ideal teacher and what it means to teach effectively. The chapter concludes that teacher education has been searching for academic credibility to justify its position in the university, which has not previously been self-evident. I Introduction The work of Finnish teachers in primary and secondary education is framed by a national core curriculum, which is decided at the national level and based on the education providers, usually municipalities, that draw up their own local curricula. However, in Finland teachers have a rather high degree of professional autonomy. On the one hand, this autonomy derives from the lack of strong managerial techniques to control the implementation of the curriculum, such as inspection or national standardised tests (Simola et al., 2009). On the other hand, this strong teacher autonomy is a result of historical processes that have formed the current practice in which classroom knowledge is ideally built case-by-case drawing on research yet organized according to the national core curriculum.

  • MS Estonia with the Visor and Bow Doors Open the MS Estonia Was A
    MS Estonia with the visor and bow doors open The MS Estonia was a cruise ferry. The ship sank in 1994 during her journey from Tallinn to Stockholm. It is the deadliest shipwreck disaster to have occurred in the Baltic Sea in peacetime, costing 852 lives. On September 28 at about 01:15, the visor at the bow separated which resulted that the large ship's bow door opened. The ship immediately took on a heavy starboard list to initial 30 to 40 degrees. 15 minutes later, the ship had rolled 90 degrees and sunk within 45 minutes. Of the 989 on board, 138 were rescued alive, but one died later in hospital. Those are the official figures given to the public. Conspiracy theories exist about the cause of the sinking. German journalist Jutta Rabe claims that laboratory tests on debris recovered illegally from Estonia's bow yielded trace evidence of a deliberate explosion. Additionally, she insists that Swedish, British, and Russian governments tried to smuggle military hardware via the civilian ferry. In 2004, a former Swedish customs officer claimed that Estonia had been used to transport military equipment. Carl Övberg, a survivor and frequent passenger, reported that on the day of travel the harbor had been sealed off and that a military convoy had escorted two large trucks to the waiting ferry. Although more than 500 Swedes were among the 852 reported dead, the Swedish government has blocked every effort to recover the bodies from the wreck. Even an early offer by a Norwegian diving company to retrieve the bodies at cost was rejected.

  • From the Tito-Stalin Split to Yugoslavia's Finnish Connection: Neutralism Before Non-Alignment, 1948-1958
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FROM THE TITO-STALIN SPLIT TO YUGOSLAVIA'S FINNISH CONNECTION: NEUTRALISM BEFORE NON-ALIGNMENT, 1948-1958. Rinna Elina Kullaa, Doctor of Philosophy 2008 Directed By: Professor John R. Lampe Department of History After the Second World War the European continent stood divided between two clearly defined and competing systems of government, economic and social progress. Historians have repeatedly analyzed the formation of the Soviet bloc in the east, the subsequent superpower confrontation, and the resulting rise of Euro-Atlantic interconnection in the west. This dissertation provides a new view of how two borderlands steered clear of absorption into the Soviet bloc. It addresses the foreign relations of Yugoslavia and Finland with the Soviet Union and with each other between 1948 and 1958. Narrated here are their separate yet comparable and, to some extent, coordinated contests with the Soviet Union. Ending the presumed partnership with the Soviet Union, the Tito-Stalin split of 1948 launched Yugoslavia on a search for an alternative foreign policy, one that previously began before the split and helped to provoke it. After the split that search turned to avoiding violent conflict with the Soviet Union while creating alternative international partnerships to help the Communist state to survive in difficult postwar conditions. Finnish-Soviet relations between 1944 and 1948 showed the Yugoslav Foreign Ministry that in order to avoid invasion, it would have to demonstrate a commitment to minimizing security risks to the Soviet Union along its European political border and to not interfering in the Soviet domination of domestic politics elsewhere in Eastern Europe.

    MEMORANDUM ON MEASURES TAKEN FOLLOWING THE SINKING OF CAR FERRY MS ESTONIA AND PLAN FOR JOINT ACTION IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES Working group on bow doors Maritime Department Helsinki 1994 MEMORANDUM ON MEASURES TAKEN FOLLOWING THE SINKING OF CAR FERRY MS ESTONIA AND PLAN FOR JOINT ACTION IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES On 28 September 1994 an ad-hoc meeting led by minister of transportation Ole convened to discuss immediate measures to be taken following the sinking Norrback of car ferry Estonia. It was pointed out at the meeting that all passenger vessels regularly calling at Finnish ports are subjected to safety inspections. These inspections also include foreign vessels. The inspections are based on both international conventions and national legislation. As a response to the Estonia disaster, the parties decided on the following additional measures to be taken: 1. Inspection of bow doors in Finnish car and rail ferries The National Board of Navigation was to inspect urgently the bow and stern doors of all car and rail ferries that fly the Finnish flag and call at Finnish ports. The inspection was to include both condition and functioning of the doors as well as their alarm and monitoring systems and was to be completed within a week. The National Board of Navigation was also to verify that the passenger vessels, car and rail ferries maintain such routines that the closing of all cargo doors is secured before departure. These inspections were completed by October 8th, as follows: Vessel Year of Build Type of bow door Date Cinderella -89 butterfly type 29.09.
